You are always inspiring @TerriRichardson112 !! Congratulations!

All good except sodium Off to zzzzz

Thank you @77tes! Yes, it’s a sickening feeling but also helps us be successful down the road! Tonight’s lesson. No more popcorn. I really like that I’m not beating myself up but observing & modifying what I eat the next day. #HealthFirst

Thank you Terri. I’ve made great progression in the past 24 hours. Pushing the stair climbs!! I know it’s 2 steps forwards/one step back, but I’m Encouraged. I also began some Tylenol again to ease the pain of the increased exercise. Seems to have been the right decision. Thanks again

@77tes Thank you so much & thank you for stepping up to lead this group & for all you insightful contributions already!!! I can’t download Atoms until I update my phone’s new operating system - good motivation to do so! UPDATE: 3/8 & 3/9 3/8 All food tracked- over by 405 cals Sat fat too high Sodium too high This day was…

@77tes Wow - great opening post & I will definitely check out the Atoms app! I have 12 pounds to lose - some gradual creep & a few big jumps late last year caring for (dementia & many health issues/falls) Dad & dealing with errors, stressful interactions with caregivers/nurses/multiple ER trips, grief etc. As of mid Dec, I…

Hi @Bella_Figura Wow! It is hard for me to believe that you just found this group! What a terrific job you did! I can just imagine you choosing your favorite audio book on March 1! Note: sometimes as we work with our Plan we see something that needs improving to make you more successful at achieving your goals. Go ahead…

Thank you so much @TerriRichardson112 Your comments mean a lot to me. You are an inspiration to us all! Congratulations on your ability to persevere & create strategies that motivate & work for you ♥️

I have successfully increased my steps in December. I pulled out of being the mail sibling handling my Dad’s Cate as it was clearly jeopardizing my health. My brothers have taken over most of it. I can feel myself slowly recovering from the lengthy stress, which is great. I had been feeling really Overwhelmed by things…

Vastly increasing veggies & fruits 1/2 plate veggies, 1/4 plate fruit/fiber rich carb, 1/4 protein✅ (Eventual goal to have 1/2 my protein from plants but that will be Step 2.) Increasing walking distance✅ Vastly decreasing eating out, fat, sodium✅ There are so many really great reasons to eat healthily, move as much as we…

WELCOME BACK to YOU BOTH!

Do talk to your doctor about leg pain etc. After a year of dealing with the leg pain, my doctor switched me from Atorvastatin to Rosuvastatin. Leg pain still an issue, so he cut that dosage in half & added another medication Zetia. No leg pain…happily on my way to getting my steps back up to the 10K that I used to do daily…

Yes, it will definitely show. I had the same question in 2016 228lbs. Then I read losing even 5% of your weight improves health outcomes…did that. 10% even more improved health out ones. Did that. Etc. Eventually down to 150.3 female 60’s 5’8” med-large frame. I maintained ~ 158. Increased last year to avg 166. Now popped…

Impressive @snowshoe072 !!!

Improving my steps for sure. Step count today in the 8,000’s. Best since Aug 18th!! And many uphills & downhills in the mountains Foot still hurt a couple of times but I’m optimistic that it will heal. The scale was the highest today since April 30 2018 5 years & 5 months ago. I tracked my food today. That and the hike…

Fantastic @77tes !

Oct 8 7,584 steps ❤️❤️❤️ Most of it in soft sand :) I looked back at the last 24 weeks of my weekly step counts. Last week was higher than 20 of the weeks!! Ever onwards! Our three day getaway was very important for me. Lots of nature, birds, animals sighted! Food will need to be a focus now. I have fallen into some bad…

Wow @77tes! You are doing great & what an inspirational story!

Goal: 5,000+ steps each day Oct 1-7 steps average 5,841!!!! DID IT! Up about 2,600 per day. Shooting for 5K+ per day. Decided not to wait until Oct 6 (and orthotic) just walked gently 2-3 times a day - short distances. On to next week! I did my first uphill - I felt stronger & had a blast I walked gently downhill. So far,…

Thank you! Got it Friday! I’m Optimistic!

I will walk daily this month & post my steps here. I receive my long-awaited 🥲🥲 Orthotic FRIDAY Oct 6. I am hopeful I will be able to return to my former fitness level which helped me weight maintenance, health markers, and reduced my stress. My weight is up this past two months…appetite is raging. Sad, but optimistic that…

Thank you @lesdarts180 - very helpful :)

9/ 4,5 /23 I am reducing calories, not eating sugar either day. Eating 1/2 of some items if not too hungry & eating the rest later… Lost the water weight I gained last week. Thank you for your support. BUILDING MY SUCCESS PLAN:

@lesdarts180 You are SO inspiring to me! Quick question: do you plan your food ahead for each day? For me, it’s an entrenched habit from my earlier decades of eating. I loved blue cheese salads, too. After transplant, blue cheese is a mandatory “no fly” food because of the bacteria, I believe. When I have a medical reason…

What a great day, DONNA!
